The Trump administration temporarily suspended all visa applications for immigrants, introducing stricter rules.

The Trump administration announced the temporary suspension of processing visa applications for immigrants, starting in August, as part of efforts to tighten entry rules into the U.S.

The State Department is working on new procedures to evaluate applicants and prevent the entry of those who may depend on public assistance. The measure affects interview scheduling, many of which have been canceled without a clear rescheduling date. Additionally, the administration intends to revoke visas for asylum seekers who initially entered the U.S. as tourists or for business, which could affect up to 200,000 people.

This action is part of a series of measures aimed at limiting both legal and illegal immigration. Previously, a similar measure was blocked by a federal judge, who emphasized that immigration laws cannot justify discrimination. Immigration experts warn that the suspension will have a significant impact on those who have invested time and resources in the visa application process.
